To make timely and correct diagnosis, the physician must have thorough understanding of the basic anatomical relationships and awareness of the existence of this injury. In this case report treatment and follow-up period in a 12-year-old patient with apophyseal avulsion of anterior inferior iliac spine is described and the differential diagnosis is discussed.
